Before she left, she said she caught a little boy with the last name Li. She asked him if he is related to him, and that he was the last Li in his family. Li Fang tells her he knows nothing and saw nothing (meaning they will both keep their mouth shut).
Yuzhan was sitting stairing at the sachet, her father told her to let it go. That now the fate has been set, her little sister is now the wife and will be the empress. She informed her dad to not worry and she will give the sachet back to Xue Rong tomorrow.
Xue Rong is seen drinking, and Jiang Shao was drinking as well. Jiang Shao said it is his fault, because it was his idea. Xue Rong said that was fate. They both said they can hide to others but they can't hide from themself. Xue Rong talked about love and how he loves Yuzhan. Jiang Shao asked what are we to do now. Xue Rong and Jiang Shao pledged to help each other and stay being good brothers.
In court, Fu asked the evil princess that Xue Rong should take the throne. The evil princess stated he can't. The evil princess has the fake royal seal, but she wants Xue Rong to bring out the real royal seal. She said they have to be patient.
Xue Rong and Yuzhan is together, and he asked her how she was feeling. She handed Xue Rong back the sachet that the emperor gave her. She said that it was the love token between them, and they must end their relationship. Xue Rong asked if it was not for her family would she marry him for herself. She said there is no what ifs. Then they had flashbacks of their relationship. She said since Heaven has seal their fate then they can't go backwards.

He went to find her, he asked her why she went there. She said it was his fault that she married Xue Rong. He said it can't be helped because everyone saw it. Jiang Shao said Xue Rong can't do anything right now he is still in danger himself.
The evil princess states that she can't be crazy like her own brother. The throne has to be passed down to their own flesh and blood and not an outsider like Xue Rong.
Xue Rong is holding to the sachet while walking in the royal garden. The evil princess sees this, saying that the emperor planted that tree that Xue Rong is talking to.
Xue Rong states why can't he marry Yuzhan, saying that the sachet was given to her by him. He then buried it into the ground without looking at the content. He states that he is returning the sachet back to the emperor.
The evil princess asked her servant to dig it up and she looked inside and found the seal. Jinzhan asked Xue Rong to let her go home. He said he can't do that. He doesn't even know if he can take the throne, because the evil princess keeps blocking him. Xue Rong mention seal, and Jinzhan remember she had it.
The evil princess and her servant talked about the seal. Then Jinzhan showed Xue Rong the seal and he asked where she got that, she told him she got it from the evil princess's house. She ran to go inform Yuzhan.
The evil princess passed out money for her servants to leave the palace. Huaijin walks in on her mother, she tells him she done something wrong. She told her that she made an evil seal, and Jinzhan took it and that they will kill her. Huaijin said he will plead with Xue Rong and have him forgive her. She presented the fake seal and told him to take that to Xue Rong, and she will take all the blame. She told him to take care of himself. He said he will take care of it and won't let anything happen to his mother.
Huaijin went to see Jinzhan. He said he went to say sorry for his mom. Jinzhan went to show her proof that his mom made a fake seal. Huaijin took the seal and knocked her out. He stole the evidence from her.
Jinzhan went to inform her sister and Xue Rong that Huaijin stole the evidence. Xue Rong had his servant send a letter to the evil princess. Yuzhan states they have to hurry and find the real seal. Xue Rong looked at the golden seal he got from the emperor and it had a key hole, Yuzhan realized that the key was in the sachet. Xue Rong went to dig it up but it was gone. Xue Rong asked the servant who else been there he said the evil princess. Now, they know she has the key. He sent Yuzhan home.
Xue Rong said sorry to the emperor, for not realizing his good intentions. He said he remember the emperor's teaching about the royal family. He said he is lonely and sad, after the emperor died and he doesn't know how to live. He states he loves Yuzhan and she comforts him. Yuzhan walks toward him and states that she will help him. That the Heaven has made the rules, Xue Rong states if then, He will become the Heaven. He asked her if she will be with him then. She when that day comes.
Yuzhan walks in to talk to Xue Rong. Xue Rong ask the servant to send Yuzhan out, but she refuse to go. She has a plan and she have done some investigation on her own.
